Fubon Financial Holdings announced on Apr. 2 that four of its subsidiaries—Fubon Life, Fubon Insurance, Fubon Securities, and Fubon Asset Management—were each ranked among the top 25% in their respective industries during the third “Sustainable Finance Evaluation” awards ceremony. The evaluation was implemented by the Financial Supervisory Commission to encourage climate change management and ESG risk mitigation within Taiwan’s financial sector.
The recognition highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to corporate sustainability and its adoption of four key ESG strategies: decarbonization, digitalization, empowerment, and connection. These efforts are aimed at leveraging financial industry functions to promote positive change for both industry and society.
Fubon Life was honored for the third consecutive year among insurers, noted for its performance in sustainable governance, climate risk management, green finance development, and information transparency. The company aims to exceed NT$2 trillion in green finance investments by 2030 and has committed to achieving full renewable electricity usage globally by 2040. It also supports government net-zero goals through initiatives like participating in international sustainability frameworks such as SBTi and RE100.
Fubon Insurance achieved a top-25% ranking across all ESG dimensions due to its integration of climate considerations into risk management practices using data analytics and technology. The company provides advisory services supporting low-carbon transitions for sectors like solar power and energy storage while enhancing digital insurance services through partnerships with firms such as Taiwan Mobile and STARLUX Airlines.
For two years running, Fubon Securities has placed among the top quarter of securities firms evaluated on environmental, social, and governance factors. Chairman Leo Cheng said that “sustainability is the core responsibility of the financial industry,” adding that concrete actions have been taken across all business decisions. The firm implements anti-greenwashing guidelines for financial products and invests heavily in customer protection measures as well as employee training programs.
Participating for the first time this year, Fubon Asset Management also ranked within the top quartile among asset managers by integrating ESG principles into investment processes according to global standards like PRI. Since 2009 it has maintained ISO certifications covering information security (ISO 27001), greenhouse gas inventory (ISO 14064‑1), and business continuity (ISO 22301).
Fubon Financial Holding emphasizes sustainable development throughout Asia-Pacific markets including Taiwan, mainland China, Hong Kong, banking services as well as life insurance offerings according to the official website.
